Calling this a “make-or-break” week in Los Angeles’s battle against the coronavirus, Mayor Eric Garcetti warned Angelenos on Monday, April 6 to stick to the strategy of staying home as much as possible.
“This will be a critical week in our fight against this crisis,” he said during a briefing delivered from the city’s daily briefing.
The number of confirmed cases has topped 6,000, with 15 additional deaths announced Monday bringing the total deaths countywide to 147. Meanwhile a study found that fewer ventilators, ICU beds, and overall beds may be needed than previously anticipated.
And there appeared to be a slowdown in the uptick in COVID-19 cases, with the 7% increase the first time since March 14 that it has been in the single digit.
The ruse is collapsing
Nancy and Chuck are already hard at work figuring out the next thing to blame, and then chinvestigate, Trump for.
I’d been feeling mildly optimistic lately about the progress of the epidemic, but if this guy and his useless agency are feeling optimistic too then I’m firmly pessimistic again.
Weren’t Birx and Fauci complaining just a few days ago that Americans weren’t doing enough social distancing to avoid the grim scenario of 100,000-240,000 people dead, as the White House model projects? How did we get from that to the head of CDC going full wowzers about social distancing efforts in a radio interview in less than a week?
Why can’t these people ever seem to get their story straight?
The early predictions of the COVID-19’s expected death toll in the U.S. assumed about half of Americans “would pay attention to the recommendations,” CDC Director Robert Redfield said Monday in an interview with AM 1030 KVOI Radio in Tucson, Ariz.
“What we’re seeing is a large majority of the American public are taking the social distancing recommendations to heart,” he said. “And I think that’s the direct consequence of why you’re seeing the numbers are going to be much, much, much, much lower than would have been predicted by the models.”
CNN confirmed today that the famously opaque White House model does indeed assume that only 50 percent of Americans would heed the recommendations about social distancing. But … why the hell would they think that when 95 percent of the country is now under stay-at-home orders? Practically all nonessential businesses are closed. Where exactly are Americans supposed to congregate, even if they wanted to flout the social distancing guidelines?
A week after unveiling a stunning projection for the number of people who would die from coronavirus in the US — 100,000 to 240,000 — White House officials have yet to fully explain how they arrived at those numbers…
A source close to the task force said it’s possible the eventual death toll will be “way under” the 100,000-to-240,000 figure.
A key factor driving the large estimate was a crucial assumption, discussed internally by task force officials, that only 50% of Americans would observe the government’s stringent social distancing guidelines, the source said. That calculation was not shared widely. In reality, a much larger number — 90% — is observing the government’s guidelines, US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams said in several interviews this week.

And here it comes....we didn't completely overreact putting millions of people out of work for no reason, because look, this social distancing thing that almost nobody did anyway because Wal Mart was always full maybe sort of worked so here follow this red dot on the carpet while we go out the back door....

Fuck no. WDFW already shelved the idea. Like I knew those fuckers would. It's easier to leave everything closed than it is to explain why there aren't any fish to catch.

The only way Sweden’s socialism works is if you covid away the oldies every decade or so. Their economy has never looked brighter.
It could be 130K and it still wouldn't have justified trampling civil liberties, putting 17 million people out of work, and dropping every Americans net worth by a quarter.

At some point can we have an actual discussion about going back to work without the usual army of hysterical ninnies calling everyone Hitler?
